Like Tate, Norwood IS the guy that tracks his scrambling QB and also like Tate (and ADB) he will fight for balls, making the tough catch whether contested or not. Unsure about his "injury", but I am sure he too is likely suffering some transition issues. I screamed in this forum to keep Tate, but Tate didn't do a lot until his 3rd year, so maybe a bity more patience should be granted to our new guys.

Yup. Bingo.
The Hawks passing attack is feeling Norwood's injury, IMO. Dude should/could've been at ADB's level, day one. His injury hurts.
He's still on track to return though, right?
Good to see your return, Pehawk.
I'm uncertain anymore what constitutes injury in Pete-speak. I certainly question the validity of Michael's injury, though Pete appeared to be rather forthright about such stuff last year. But he will always be a salesman to me, as much as I like the guy.
Glad I have some support here with Norwood. And ADB is who I liken him to as well. Someone said he's healthy, so that's probable, I can only assume he's not a first year wonder-kind, like those drafted many rds before him. Like yourself, I can only judge him by the countless 'Bama games that most of us endure, for one reason or another. The kid has all the tools, great hands, humble, a solid kid, not afraid to go over the middle and got McCarron a hot GF. Without Norwood, McCarron's passing numbers would be more what we'd expect from a Bama QB, imo.
